Southern Chivclry

When picturesque Senator J. Thomas Heflin held forth in Washington, he frequently maintained that his native state of Alabama was the most chivalrous of all states.

"Nowhere is this more to be observed," he said, "than in that least chivalrous of all places, the court of law." And then he related the following story:

"An Alabama Judge, a courtly gentleman of the old school, had to try a case in which one of the witnesses happened to be an actress greatly admired in the South. The nature of the evidence was such that the usual question, 'What is your age?' was more than likely to be asked, so when she came to the stand his honor told the court clerk to suspend action for a moment; then' turning to the actress he demanded:

"'Madam, how old are you?'

"'Twenty-six,' she replied, although she was at least thirty-six.

"'Very well,' said the Judge, politely. 'I have asked you that question because if I hadn't it would surely have been asked when the attorney for the defense cross-examined you. And, now that you have told us your age' do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?'" (Christian Science Monitor')

Just a Gcg

"What's flat at the bottom, oointed at the top, and has ears ?"

"I give up."

"A mountain."

"What about the ears?"

"You never heard of mountaineers?"

Twilisht

Just asmokin' and adreamin' And athinkin' of your dear, Just alongin' and awonderin' And awishin' you were here;

Just awatchin' twilight fadin', Night afallin' from the blue, Just asmokin' and adreamin' Prayin' you're alovin' too.

Just asmokin' and adreamin', Buildin' castles in the air;

Just ahopin' and agrievin' And awonderin' if you care;

Just awatchin' lonesome shadows

Cross the empty hearthstones fall, Just asmokin' and adreamin' And alovin' you-that's all. -Forrest Maben KelP.

Lecrdership

A leader is best when people hardly know that he exists. Not so good when people obey and acclaim him. Worse when they despise him. Fail to honor people, they fail to honor you. But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will all say-"We did this ourselves." (Lao-Tse.)

IMhv Indeed?

When late I attempted your pity to move, Why seemd you so deaf to mY Prayers, Perhaps it was right to dissemble your love, But-why did you kick me downstairs?

-J. P. Kemble.

Give Me cr Sense ol Humor

An anonymous worshiper once left behind in Chester Cathedral, in England, a poem of unknown origin that has been much quoted ever since. The two most quoted stanzas of the poem are:

"Give me a mind that is not bored, That does not whimPer, whine or sigh, Don't let me worry overmuch, About the fussy thing called I.

"Give me a sense of humor, Lord, Give me the grace to see a joke, To get some happiness from life, And pass it on to other folk."

Stones

Lord Birkenhead proudly announced to his family that he had obtained a lucrative contract for a series of articles to be called "Milestones of My Life." They discussed what material he proposed to use in the writings.

Said Lady Birkenhead: "You might mention our marriage, and the birth of our first child."

Replied Birkenhead: "I shall write about milestones, my dear. not millstones."

Crossed Wires

The young lady tried to telephone a music store to ask 4bout some recordings, and got a garage by mistake. She asked:

"Have you 'Two Red Lips and Seven Kisses'?"

The garage man rePlied:

"We have two tom cats and seven kittens."

Pazzled, the young lady asked:

"Is that a record?"

And the garage man rePlied:

"It is around this joint."
